Steven Curtis Chapman - I Do Believe Chords & Tabs

I Do Believe
Steven Curtis Chapman
Album: Speechless
C1999 Sparrow Song/Peach Hill/BMI
Tabbed by Steve Cruickshank

This song is played in dropped-D and tuned down half a step, however
theres no reason why you cant play it in standard (it'll just sound
half a step higher than on the CD), but the riff pretty much requires
the low string to be dropped. All the chords written below are with
the tuning change as well.

C
Sitting in a traffic jam 11:52pm
G/B                                   Riff 1 and 2
Just a few miles south of Carolina Ohio
C
I take my pen and start to write the thoughts that fill my head tonight
G/B
Nothing terribly profound, just these simple words
Bb                                            C
that keep my heart anchored down, that keep my restless heart anchored down

I do, I do, I do, I do believe

It's not to anything that's true

Cause your love opens up my eyes

To see that everything I need is found when I believe in you
